Stand-Up Comedy Is HARD: All Around Losing (Episode 2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- In the second episode of "All-Around Losing," Harry attempts to follow in the footsteps of Louis CK and other schmucks-turned-idols by trying to become a stand-up comic. He starts at the very, very bottom, subjecting himself to NYC's brutal open-mic night scene, and quickly discovers that 1) making people laugh is nightmarishly difficult and 2) he is no good at it. It's funny to watch him fail, but not ha-ha funny.

It takes balls to be able to do what you did. It's not how many times you fail, it's how many times you fail and get back up and keep trying.
I'mNotCharlesBarkley SoDon'tBanMe It isn't real bruv
Gamerat this shit is real
Pan African Toad thinking about giving it a try
You're right man cause I am a comedian
You're right man I am a comedian
"Men...and you know, women..." Best lines ever.
I would’ve died laughing at that, it’s like a meta bad joke lol
i want to be a comedian but im afraid that people will laugh
mike roshaft lol
mike roshaft nice punchline bro 😂😂😂
Same
Haha brilliant!
Lmaoo
1. Never ask the audience questions!
2. Own the stage! Like a lion owns the goddamn jungle!
3. Don’t drink alcohol before going on stage,
Take a Viagra.
yes boners are quite hilarious
This nerd inspired me to do stand up comedy. I don't know why.
Well, did you do it?
Yeah, it takes balls. Let us know when you get some.
He is a nerd and not funny, but he showed some guts here.
It's been over 3 years. Did u start stand up yet?
Hes got some reals balls. good for him
Forget balls. He needs some jokes.
Oof... painful to watch but can't look away.

Dying is easy, comedy is hard!
but why is it hard? can someone explain what part(s) of the process is hard.
@@Hutchings02- It's the part about getting up onstage and telling jokes that make people laugh.
@@Hutchings02 There are open mics everywhere. The best way to find out is to go to one and try doing stand up.
Stealing lines without giving credit who said them is easy too
@@Hutchings02
All of it
IDK maybe i'm wrong but he is kind of awkward and unconfident, so maybe he should focus his act around that. Just awesome self deprecation. But try to maybe cut back on doing so many jokes about sex you only got 5 minutes and it seems like you had a shitload of topics written down on your hand, but you only got to the sex topic, which if you're awkward and unconfident you shouldn't only be talking about banging chicks because awkward and unconfident guys have a hard time banging chicks. You're kind of defeating your own purpose a lil bit. Plus it's five minutes pick out jokes that you wrote that you think are the funniest practice at home and time it out. Congrats for getting on stage buddy takes a lot of guts. Play to your strengths and you can do it.
If you tell them it's your first time, you're gonna do well. But next time you do it, you're going to bomb hard and you won't know how to handle it. The trick is to keep going onstage as much as you can to get comfortable onstage.
My first time was my absolute worst idk how I went back...that crowd he had was super nice I was surprised
+Greg Sanchez how did you feel? Did they boo you?
people dont boo in denmark, they're all too polite. it makes me sick, cos i want honest feedback. the more information i leave with the better my next time will be. fucking hate danes.
I love this episode, it makes me laugh and reminds me my own first open mic! Stand-up comedy is not easy, maybe it looks easy for some people who are just watching. Louis Ck walks out of a subway and goes to a pizza store, and then go to the comedy club, so classic!! Harry really followed in the footsteps of Louis, haha.
1 year with 1 like. how does it feel to be completely irrelevant Sarah?
@@tomik6537She got more than you 😂
the fact that he tryed it is a "WIN" in my book
Respect for trying that. I would never in a million years go near such a stage, and if I stood there I'd probably turn mute instantly. stand up has to be the hardest and scariest thing imaginable...
I liked the last joke. " Men, you know, always... , and then but always, women, man, ... fffshhhhhhh... that one still needs a little bit of work." It would have killed in Brooklyn.
His friends laughed when he told them that he was going in to comedy - they're not laughing now.
brilliant.
sorry if it's 3 years late
said your dad when he took you from the orphanage
its also a Jimmy Carr joke. sorry..
Looks like the writers of the Joker movie stumbled across your comment.
I'm gonna write as many jokes as I can and just try my favorites one day.
how'd you do? good i hope:)
@@Hutchings02 No reply mean no action.
@@rickb.1751 damn sounds like my dating life
I wonder how much polite British hecklers cost "I'm heckling you, what are you gonna do about it?" cos I could make a small fortune saying those words lol
Good one, Harry. Comedy is the hardest artform to pursue. Even if someone isn't particularly funny, if that someone sticks with it and keeps going to shows for years and years then they deserve all the respect in the world.
A-FUCKING-MEN! (said the atheist)
I like the blindman trying to kill a frog in a bouncy house. Its got good potential, keep workin at it
I love his last line that was the greatest punch line of the whole show for all those comedians out there your have my respect or my pitty or something like that I dont know
just respect. if he had wanted it more he would have just said respect, he doesnt understand the need to make people laugh.
This guy has the balls to try all this stuff even if it does not always go well. I don't think that is losing at all. The real losers are the ones who don't try this stuff but criticize him.
Harry actually has some good jokes. If he kept at it for a few years he could be a real good comedian
Anyone that goes up to the microphone even if they are terrible deserves respect.
This series is what I imagine happening to me when people tell me I need to go out and try new things.
I don't know what's sadder: this guys life, or the fact people watch this for fun.
Harry, I'm sure you're a nice dude, but the last couple of minutes of that video hurt me in ways I didn't think I could be hurt.
the guy at 0:28 gving him the finger ahahahaha
The funniest part for me is reading thru the comments at all these expert comedians
THE funny thing is that if you took all the commentary that you made between sets about how bad you think you were. THEN you would be funny. The honesty came out.
Hey Harry, been doing comedy for almost a year (and I freely admit I was terrible at the start and only marginally better now) but the best part is just getting shit out of your head. The boss you hate let it out, theticket you just got, let it out, wifes cheating on you, let it out. it's my therapy lol.
"I'm heckling you. What are you gonna do about it?" Holy shit haha...
Why do vice video have so little views! One of the best channels on youtube.
Welcome to New York, where random people flip you off! 0:28
he just shakes his pizza at the dude lol
Lol the heckler was great.
Had to pause after he eat half the pizza and threw it away. I was in shock
"...with a bunch of Goddard films" is brilliant
i had to pause for a second i felt so bad lmao
how can he do all this without dying from embarassment? like, I think I wouldn't even bring a single word out if I knew I wasn't good at this :P
4:37 "do you want one of these? No-" lol good stuff.
This is so awkward its hilarious! love it.
4:52 to 6:19 That moment when a comic realizes they have alot more work to do on their act! 😏
standup can be hard as fuck, but when you kill there's no better feeling on earth
0:32 throwing out a half eaten slice of pizza. This fuckin' guy.
I feel like bombing at The Apollo is better then the pure silence he had
They never stopped doing documentaries guy. They just aren't a one note channel. Branch out, man.
Vice should send Harry alone in Liberia to do his stand up... that would be funny!!!
C'mon Harry you ARE a comedian. . I know I'm laughing out loud at your VICE video series!
hes like oh ok then
this is like my worst nightmare. god, that would fucking suck. but hats off to you for trying harry
I think its probably the oldest form, though. I can picture a caveman standing up after dinner and clowning around.
He had the stage presence of the mic-stand in front of him.
You've breathed the rarefied air of dying on stage. That's a breath that most people are too frightened to take. Qudos. It isn't easy.
I used to do a Bit of Stand up & wanted to use the phrase "I'm here all Week", but due to lack of Material had to downgrade it to "all Weekend!".
But Seriously I used to watch Stand up Routines & Hear People Laughing & I thought "That really Annoys Me & I will try to get into Stand up & Wipe those Smiles of People's Faces!".
Unless you have actually put yourself in this extremely vulnerable position you have no place to judge this guy negatively.
Maybe you shouldn't keep talking about sex. But to do comedy standup requires huge balls, and comedians have all of my respect
"harry harry harry harry" balls
the funniest part about this guys set is the way his glasses are. 6:13 🤦♂️ poor guy can't get a break
he gets flicked off at :27 LOL DAS FUQED UP
7 minutes of Harry is not enough Harry.
I'll be here waiting for ll Around Losing (Episode 3)
5:46 men, you know, but then women, whew, well i guess this needs more work.
Dude that crowd at the end looked sooo fuckn depressed .
LOOK AT DAT FOAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's on purpose, they'r immitating the tv show ''louie'' intro, where a guy also gives him the finger at that part
aye man, u tryna crack sum jokes? u are? that's GOOOOOOOD MAN! THAT'S HELLA GOOD!
I can relate to blacking out and having no memory of performing lol. That's why videos are helpful.
Hey... I couldn't do stand-up any better than Harry. It might not have been funny to watch in the club that night, but it's funny to watch now. Stand-up success in my opinion.
Exactly what I was thinking! You need to stop being so hard on yourself and giving up when you try new things if you fail. Everyone fails, even the greats, but the greats keep going. Some of my favorite comedy is when the comedian looks comfortable being uncomfortable in his/her skin. I'm rooting for you!
That intro 🤣
That blind man in a bouncy house was a good bit just gotta work on delivery
Lord keith & Lord Kevin brought me here...aka, Mr Feathers & Mr Striations...aka, The Fasting Twins..aka, The Light Skinned Avatars.
hahaha love the Louie parody
love the louie opening bit
very good point. I was assuming that it was a younger audience at like a comedy club or something. But I couldn't agree with you more that it depends on the audience and how much you can relate to them.
nicest heckler ever lol
at least he had the balls to get up there are do it. props to you dude.
Thats comedy, you do an open mic and do ok, then bomb the next few shows, then bomb but get a few laughs, consistency is key!
Dude i give him a lot of credit bc i dont have the balls to put myself out there like that.
He could’ve responded “your sex life” to the heckler or something. I’m sure there are better options, but that was my first thought. 😂
this guy is the best vice reporter hes the only one i don't want to slap in the ear
im really digging this show. the funny thing is this guy isnt even a loser. The fact that he's trying he already won.
poor man's Woody Harelson. LOL
It shows at the End.
Nah bro getting blazed on dank nugs.
This guy is brave, even if he says he's "losing". Getting up on stage and doing any form of speaking, let alone comedy is something that scares the shit out of me... Mainly because I have a stutter though.
because of decimal points. after 1 second there is still .99 seconds left
Good on Harry for trying. There's no fucking way I'd go on a stage and try to make people laugh.
Reporting for duty sir....we went balls deep in the comment box!!!
The real Louie here lol..
one of the best series on vice
He be making all kind of gains!
If alcohol didn't calm your nerves, you drank too little.
That happens in the Louis CK intro too.
Most people wouldn’t even imagine trying this, so the fact that he did it three times is pretty great even if he wasn’t that good.
In Louie C.K.'s show "Louie" in the intro when he's in the Pizzeria some guy flips off the camera. They were copying the intro.
that's because a guy also flips off louie c.k. around the same time of the intro on his show.
Your audience is also a really impertinent factor, as well having balls and just not generally giving a fuck about what happens. That's what I think the biggest mistake people make is caring too much about what exactly happens while on stage and instead just going with it.
I think he's all around winning so far.
oh man that last set made me feel like throwing up
I was laughing my ass off!! He might not think he might not be good at stand-up, but episodic humour is clearly his forte.
